Episode Description

Just over a year ago, Mae Caime was crowned Ms. New York Senior America for 2023. But the contest was not a beauty pageant. Rather, it was a competition based on talent and presentation skills, and this recognition was a crowning achievement of Mae’s long and illustrious career—one that is still unfolding with originality, excitement and adventure. In today's episode, Mae will unfold her remarkable journey as a visionary in the fields of health and business that has led to her position as CEO of aMAEzing Midlife & Beyond, which she launched to empower women, dispel ageism and support transformational change in both their personal and business paths. Beginning her career as a Registered Nurse in pediatrics and the ER, she leveraged her ability to perform under the most intense situations into a foundation as successful administrator in healthcare, building multimillion-dollar health enterprises, turning struggling organizations into premier practices, creating cohesive team environments, and pioneering new concepts. Indeed, Mae’s portfolio of positions has grown to include action coach, healthy lifestyle expert, corporate trainer, event director and keynote speaker—not to mention her involvement in numerous community charities and worldwide medical missions. There has been much success, but many challenges, too. Mae will share how she has dealt with risk and pushed herself out of her comfort zone—and now supports and encourages women to do the same, stepping out to learn new skills for personal and professional growth. Live with energy, action and purpose, she says, and remember that it is never too late to rise up “from role to soul.”

45 Forward

Monday at 12 Noon Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Variety Channel

Thanks to advances in medicine and health, most of us are just at half-life when we reach our mid-40s, with many potentially productive years ahead. But there’s no road map to prepare us for this period. That’s where 45 Forward comes in.

My show provides you with strategies to shift the traditional waiting-for-retirement model to a journey of compelling life chapters. Each show tackles an aspect of health, finance, family and friends, housing, work and personal pursuits as part of an integrated plan. Experts discuss topics like revitalizing relationships, creating mini-retirements, managing the maze of technology, finding your next homestead and caring for aging parents.

The show instills confidence, and hopefully some comfort, amid the stresses permeating today’s society. Fear of the future is not knowing how to prepare for it. 45 Forward does not proffer prefabricated answers, but helps you shape your life amid the daily anxieties of our time.

Ron Roel

I’m a veteran journalist who spent a wide-ranging career covering business, politics and social issues, the last two decades focusing on the blend of diverse life skills I call successful aging.

I have written extensively on aging topics, spoken at conferences, radio and TV shows, and launched several entrepreneurial ventures, discovering along the way that the path to aging well also requires an unexpected entrepreneurial vision. I spent 20 years as a writer and editor at Long Island’s daily newspaper, Newsday, helping to found Act 2, a weekly section for 50-plus readers. I created Roelresources.com, a website offering practical advice and inspirational essays for people ages 40 and above. I have been a volunteer and consultant to AARP Long Island, writing articles, advocating for seniors, and developing action plans for the AARP Age-Friendly Communities initiative.

I am active in programs and organizations that support seniors, such as the National Aging In Place Council and the Senior Umbrella Network. I have developed a special expertise in family caregiving, as one of four brothers who took care of their mother for almost 25 years. I regularly collaborate with many professionals who provide services and support for older Americans, and I am completing a book for caregivers on Long Island, “The Caregiving Navigator/How to Plan, What to do, and Where to Turn When Caring for you Aging Loved Ones. And Yourself,” scheduled for publication in early 2021.
